30" ACD: Brightness controls in Windows?

[miniConvert]

Hey folks,

Are the brightness controls on the side of the 30" ACD supposed to work when it's hooked up to a Windows box? Perhaps they rely on Apple Mac's to function? Incase you hadn't guessed, they don't work in this case, and I don't have a Mac I can hook it up to.

Chars!

Yeah, they won't work on a PC. You have to use the Control Panel and adjust gamma and/or brightness manually.

Man that stinks. This is why sysprefs is so easily acessible and simple on macs.

To be fair, it's two clicks away on both OSes and it would have been nice if Apple had provided hardware controls.

Well, to go further into controls and stuff, it is both faster and way easier in OSX.

custom drivers that supposedly allow brightness controls for ACD on XP.
